' - ,, v --John A, Joyce in New York Advertiser. BEFORE THE WIND. I ata a landlubber of the first water, if I may be allowed the simile. My fa­ miliarity with yachting is equal to my personal acquaintance with prehistoric man, and the more I endeavor to master the subject the more hopelessly in­ volved I become. But that does not detract in the least liom the pleasure I enjoy while upon a yacht, nor does my ignorance embarrass me. I have stood upon the scil yards and won­ dered why the sail didn't come down. I have sought to hoist the ensign to the peak and left the "rope-- halyard. I should say--so slack tlmt in a few min­ utes the "flag was dropped to halfm;i«t, and every captain in the harbor has called to express his regret at the sad occurrence. I always throw cigar ashes and finch-thingsover-the wror.x rail and receive the words of the skipper re­ garding the matter wi th a Christianlike humility that well Incomes me. In fact, I have-the trvi • love of yachting nt heart and a lightness of spirit that rises superior to the difficulties with which a lubber has to contend and the sarcasm that is freely poured ortt to him. This explanation is necessary, because the yachtsmen who read this story will laugh at the easy way in which I get things wrong, but I write not for tho yacht race, for yachts and races are subordinate to tho little romance in which I took a hand. Our fleet--that is, the, fleet of the Deep Bay Yacht club--was on its an­ nual cruise up Long Island sound. I was a guest upon the sloop Dawn, and had the captain and owner not been a great friend of mine I fear that I might have been put ashore early in the cruise and left to get home as Ixjst I could. A race straight away across the sound was ar­ ranged for the second day, and the boats all lay at anchor in Blackfish harbor off the little town of Nutmeg, same state. There were but two 40 footers in the fleet--the Dawn was one and the Foam the other--and between the two captains a strong friendship and an in­ tense rivalry existed. Until late in the night we were discussing the race be­ tween our two boats, and heavy odds were laid on each. There was a good breeze blowing early on the day of the race, and we all tumbled upon deck about 6 o'clock in the morning. I may be allowed to st.;te just here that the crews of the boats Were all amateurs, and as I was superlative in that degree I did land duty whenovt-r it was neces­ sary,' aaf...£hat about half past 7 I went ashore to replenish the water barrel. The skipper rowed me over to the land­ ing place, where he was joined soon aft­ er by the captain of the Foam, while I took a man in tow to get the water. While working thus, in very ordinary clothes, a horse and buggy came flying down the road, and when the driver saw me he mistook me for a boatman-- ' 1 have since paidoned the mistake--it if'," was balm after lxjing so long assailed Ma lubber. *'I say," he cried, pulling up his horse, "have yon a boat? I want to get over to Long Island right away." And as he spoke he glanced nervously up the road. "Well, no," I answered. "I am aboard a yacht." "Do you see him?" interrupted a sweet voice from beneath the hood of the buggy, and for the first time I no­ ticed a girl within. "No--no," the man replied soothing­ ly, and then he turned to me. "Can you not aid me V he asked. "I am er-er" I saw it iu a moment. Tho pair had sloped, and papa was probably close be- hind. A thought flashed through my mind, and I first ventured to ask, "Do you want a minister?" "Yes," the man answered, "but I must get into Long Island first--the old man is too near for fun." "Oh, Henry," called the girl, and hearing her voice again decided me. ( ' -""Come," I said, "this way." and in II moment the pair had left the buggy and were following me to the dock. Charley, our skipper, stared as I came up, but I motioned the two in the boat and in a moment had told him of the case. It was just as I knew, and ho tumbled in after me, leaving the cap­ tain of tho Foam to ask, "More passen­ gers?" It was the way he said it that hurt me, and 1 frowned at him as he •stood smiling on the pier. As the yawl reached the Dawn a gun, which was the signal to get ready, sounded from ^ C v ^ ^ h e f l a g s h i p , a n d i n a m i n u t e t h e e l o p - X,,, i»g pair were in tho cabin, while we \ Were occupied with raising the anchor, "f? ighie sails were hauled up. and just as , #iey filled I saw the captain of the Foam pt < rowing out with a stranger. I gave the ,-if matter no thought, but busied myself 1 "with the minor duties of coiling rope, J etc., which had been assigned tome, ji * > " flmtil suddenly I wondered whether the ^ veld man, the father of the girl,c. had , ',V' V not been taken aboard the other yacht. All the boats were under way by that time, and looking toward our rival I saw a gray heael poking out of the Cabin door. Charley was at the wheel, and I whispered my suspicions and brought up the would be bridegroom to inspect. As he saw him h* grew pale, and his eyes flashed. "I know I cannot get ashore now," he said, turning to Charley. " Do you think you can beat him over to the oth­ er shore?" "Yes, sir,** answered our skipper, " we can and will, or else lose the mast, '* and I saw that he meant it. Just then the two boats were along­ side. and the old man and the young one exchanged expressive gestures as their eyes met. v •li'ing! went the signal to start, and the"fleet squared away, tho Dawn ami tho Foam crossing the line together. Charley ordered up more sail until wo had every stitch flying, while the Foam did likewise. It was a dead heat before the wind, and the two boats leel the fleet. The respective crews had learned the story by that time and shouted loud­ ly to each other, while a broad smile lit up the face of the captain of the Foam. He evidently thought it a good joke, but we heard the girl sobbing be­ low, and our entire' crew was willing to help on the elopement. If papa got to Long Island first, we Would turn about and make Nutmeg again, or--- well, we figured tip the possible cost in the case if we put the couple ashore anel forcibly prevailed upon papa to re­ turn via the Dawn. The breeze fresh­ ened, and the two boats went before it, drawing farther apart all the while. Papa was supplied with a glass, so we got one for our man, and he skipped up on eleck every minute to look through it, and then tumbled back to comfort the girl. One by one the crew went in and were introduced to the blushing little creature, and each man as he came Dut felt as I did when I first heard her voice--it forebdded danger to the gray haired old passenger on board the Foam. "If we only had to tack, he'd lose his head by the boom," suggested Charley as he saw the white spot above the door of the cabin. "I--I--don't want to disobey papa," sobbed the girl, when I went into our cabin, "but I am old enough to know what is right, and papa is awfully fun­ ny sometimes. He chased us 15 miles. We were half married once this morn­ ing when Henry saw him up the road, and we had to start off again." I assured her that the Dawn coald beat anything afloat; that she would be safely looked after by the entire crew. "The captain of the Foam is a mean fellow," I said mildly, remembering his last remark. Then 1 came up, while the skipper resigned the wheel to an­ other and started down to make the ac­ quaintance of the pair. " Ahoy, there!" he shouted to *se, sift­ er awhile, "bring down some water, tflLYBABNSTORMEBS rcuL'f,T'^,„< TRICKS WHICH ARE PLAYED BY PECUNIOUS THESPIANS.

I was steward, you know. We were astern of the Foam, but a little; to the windward, and 1 looked at papa and scowled. The fact came to me that I hud forgotten the water and left it by the horse and buggy. I won­ dered if the fellow had forgotten them too. "I say, steward," called out Charley, "where's the water?" A quotation apt but/trite came into my mind about "water, water" There was a sudden crash ahead of us. The Foam luffed suddenly, and we saw a mass of sail hanging from the mast, which had snapped off near the top. She had tried to carry too much iu the wind, but it might have been fate, for our boat held an equal amount of sail and stood like a rock. The skip­ per was on deck in a moment. He grabbed the wheel and brought the Dawn as near the Foam as possible. A joyous smile spread over his sunburned face--the day was ours. The crew and skipper of the Foam were too busy with the wreck to notice us, but there was a gray head poking out of the cabin door, at which we yelled, and the bridegroom to be velletl, and then we passed ahead, farther and farther, while the Foam lay to in the wind, and before long the Foam was astern of the whole fleet, while we led them all. And as we neareel the buoy which marked the lim­ its of the race, the Foam was a mere speck, but with the glass we fancied that we saw papa's white head still looking over the cabin door. We won the race, and straight ahead we sailed into the wide bay, and the loving pair and the skipper and I went ashore. As we walked up from the landing toward the minister's Ijouse Charley turned to me. "Why didn't- you bring in that water I p.sT;rd for?" "I left it at Isutmeg," was my blush­ ing answer, "when I brought them on board." "Oh, 3*ou lubber," replied the skip­ per in tones of disgust. "You would try to sail with the anchor out." But notwithstanding I gave the bride away a few* minutes later and 'received my reward from her sweet lips. But the crowning act of revenge was when we went back to where the Foam lay, her crew having just restored or­ der, and Charley went on board to col­ lect his bets, and I went to deliver to gray haired papa, who by that time was frightfully seasick, a duplicate mar riage certificate.--Flavel Scott Mines in Minneapolis Tribune. iv-fpfe. iftf. ̂ .s, Jim Webster's Lurk.

The ladies are as a rule the possessors of good homes, which they desert to follow their cherished calling. A company of Keystone taleiit leaves Philadelphia to play the state of New Jersey. Their stock in trade consists of a $25 bank roll and several bun­ dles--not trunks--of wardrobe. Of course they are in possession of their ability, which is not appreciated by New Jersey natives, and after making several stands, pursued by angry hotel keepers, they go ashore on the rocks, and with one ac- cord all noses point toward the Quaker City. The ladies have little trouble in securing transportation, as they are ex­ perienced in the art of telling the con- ductors a story calculated to soften a heart of steel.

After hear­ ing this song for four weeks the landlord takes charge of his grip and advises him to find other quarters. Happy thought!

"Why!" he exclaims, "I must get him at any price, as he is the only man in Ihe city acquainted with the liqes and the finest comedy exponent iu tlbe- country/' Comedy now strolia in, and Toio» falls upon his chest with joy and fMMi him, in tones to be over- hetrd Of fM^Mklord, to complete the week with hinT^I a salary of $50. The landlord is happy and already hears the jingle of the simoTeons due him. Tom here informs our friend that he must report for dress rehearsal at once, whereupon the landlord is told that his warelrobe is in the grip, which is handed him instanter. He and his friend Tom depart arm in arm. But tney never come back. Several years ago a company stranded near Philadelphia, and all but the lead­ ing man returned to New York, he re­ maining with headquarters at the hotel in which he was stopping, expecting, as he told the country landlord, a money order from his wife. At (he end of three weeks no money order had made its ap­ pearance, and the Thespian's trunk was taken into the storeroom as security by the hotel man. The day following tfua move a young lady alighted from the train and registered at the hotel, and in very short time became acquainted with the leading man. She wanted to buy a trunk. He would sell her cue and stated to the innkeeper that he had a chance to sell his trunk and gave him the impression that the proceeds of the sale should apply on I lis b0ard bill. The trunk was remove^ to the actor's room, where the content^were taken out of it and wrapped in a pafxT, after which the lady was called in /to examine the keister." She was iiy love with the style and make of it aifl paid the actor $10 in cash for the sau^e. The bundles were lowered out of the window by the actor anel expressed to Philadelphia. The lady paid her bill at the hotel, amount­ ing to $1, and that afternoon left for this city in company with the leading man, who was none other than her husband, and in whose pocket quietly reposed the baggage check for his trunk, which the day before had been the property of the confiding hotel keener, and who, to this day, had never received a cent from the proceeds of that sale. A common practice followed by these catch-as-catch-can( managers is to give the country hote| keeper an order for the amount of his bill, payable at the box office in the j»wn to be next played ir : sic section known the heights too.

Her appearance woulel never cause the uninitiated to think that she was any­ thing more extraordinary than'an old fashioned.' woman of moderate means and simple tastes," who was on her way to the corner grocery or the bakery on the block'below. Yet, if money is pow­ er, this'siame staid looking-person is one of the inost powerful human beings in the country. In an old fashioned hoitfce bi® ft corner in PieVrepemt street Mrs. Green and her daughter Sylvia have lived for several years.! The modest apartments they oc­ cupy .-ire hired from a pleasant faced woman, who keeps the house and who has' an' admiration for Mrs. Green,' which she does not conceal. The rich­ est woman in the United States has a son, who has been spending some time1 in Florida seeking to improve his health.' Mrs. Green lias been a widow for many years, and her daughter is about 20 years old. Since the death of her hus­ band Hetty Green has become a finan­ cier of unusual shrewdness. She has in­ dicated by her actions that she has small faith in brokers, and that if she wants anything done the best way is to doit herself. The weather beaten satchel has carried securities representing millions of dol­ lars. It has knocked about New York and Brooklyn and other big financial centers with precious burdens, and Het­ ty Green has always had a tight grip on it. She does dot believe in spending her money on things she does not want, and as she wants very little she spends but little. Her children and her fortune are the sole objects of her solicitude. Mrs. Green is saiel to be very anxious to have her daughter become one of the leading actors in the famous Four Hundred of Manhattan island. Something of an ob­ stacle iu the way of this is the daughters herself, according to report. Miss Green is credited with caring as little for the dazzle anel newspaper notoriety of a so­ cial career as her mother. She is a gill whose tastes are quiet and to whom dress is a matter of litt.le consieleration. Mrs. Green, by way of a foundation for her daughter's social debut, some time ago settled a large sum of money on that young woman in government bonds. The amount is stated to be |5,000,000. Incidents in the career of this remark­ able woman have stamped her as a bold yet cautious operator in stocks and se- •curities. When the financial panic of 1884 occurred, Mrs. Green had a large degosit in a firm of Canadian bankers named €Hsco & Co. of New York. In­ formation reached her that the bank was in an unsafe condition, and without waiting to hear more she went to the in­ stitution and withdrew her entire de­ posit. The firm had no alternative, and after paying her her money was com­ pelled to suspend and finally failed com­ pletely.

The money which the judtre wanted so badly is generally con­ ceded to have been used in buying out the interest of his sou, Henry G. Hilton, in the dry goods firms of Hilton, Hughes & Co. and HT!tC»n Bros. He went to Mrs. Green, or his lawyers did, and made a request for a loau of $1,250,000 in cash. Mrs. Green wa® willing to lend, but in­ sisted on having a mortgage on the mar­ ble palace at the corner of Broadway and Chambers street, New York, the Stewart building, which, with the land, is supposed to be worth $*i,0u0,000. She would take no other security, and after a two months' search of the title the lar­ gest mortgage ever given on a single piece of property in New York was recorded. But Judge Hiltem needed the money be­ fore the search had been concluded, and after he had placeel in the hands of Hetty Green title deeds representing $15,000,000 worth of property she advanced him $800,000. And in aeldition to this the shrewd speculator forced him to sigrfta paper agreeing that she should hold the deeds until the mortgage was executed. --Brooklyn Eagle.
